As Neil Diamond once said, thank the Lord for the nighttime. I heartily second that emotion since I’m such a nocturnal person and feel so much more comfortable and relaxed after nightfall. I think nothing of running around in the darkness in carefree, reckless abandon, that if I lived in Victorian times, I probably would […]

What a Hack
As an artist, I work very hard to create something uniquely my own, the thought of someone outright ripping it off would be totally offensive and just plain wrong. It’s also thievery, plain & simple. I would like to point out that plagiarism is never a good idea, never on God’s green earth. My blog […]
Pity Party
It never fails, never ever ever. Just when I really get into a piece of art and it’s going just how I want it, my best work ever, life intervenes and my creative juices are delayed usually until evening. It is so frustrating. Before I can continue with my creativity, I have to make sure […]
Business As Usual
Some days like today go smoothly and I am so appreciative of those days but it’s only 2:30 in the afternoon so I won’t hold my breath. Let’s just go with the flow today and hope the bottom doesn’t fall out, shall we? The Christmas Spirit is with me today, a holiday-obsessed friend of mine […]
Straight From the Heart
I am just sitting here on a Friday night creating art work. That seems to be one thing that makes me happy and keeps me sane. It’s my life’s work and I find it very satisfying when it materializes like I want it too. Most of the time that isn’t the case but I just […]
In the Long Run
Allow me to talk for a moment about something I’ve chosen to do for the rest of my natural born life – being an artist. Let’s even be more be specific here by saying graphic artist. Notice I did not say “motherhood” because I plan on watching over them even after I’m gone. As a […]
It’s a Hard Knocks Life
It seems like I stay on a sleep deficit. If there’s no rest for the wicked then I must be the most evil person on earth. Why is it that I can’t get a good nights sleep? I can’t even get a nap these days. I stayed up till 3 trying to finish up my […]
This Woman’s Work
I am so behind on everything I need to do. There’s artwork that needs to be finished, blog writing, linguistic work, online class, studying french, and housework to do. Taking care of the kids is a given. It gives me very little time to excercise but I will fit it in somehow next week. If […]
Never Enough
I would love to learn more. I have been an artist all my life but I still need to learn more. It’s never enough. As an artist it is important to learn different techniques and broaden your horizons. Even if I live to be 100, I couldn’t do everything I wanted to do and gain […]
We Are Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On
I think I have finally done it. I have finally gotten 8 hours of quality sleep. That being so, I still feel like I could use a little more. Sleep is such a luxury when you have children to look after and you work for yourself. I am an artist. It is my life’s work. […]
